My postings over the last couple of months have been very far & few between. I do hope to be back & posting more often. Things have been a little crazy with me of late, but fingers crossed it is "full steam ahead".

Today's card has been created for my Volunteer Class we had this arvo. It is also a perfect way of using all that retired DSP that we have on hand but don't want to get rid of at the time. In fact, this paper is from a couple of years ago & yes, I hadn't even cut into it.

Well, you will be happy to know that I have created a couple of cards from it which means that there is not that much of it left - doing a happy dance!

Have you noticed there is no stamping on this card. BUT, I did use MDS for the "Happy Birthday".

I originally found today's card on Pinterest & have it sitting there for some time to do. Thank you so much for your inspiration!

Today is a scheduled post as I will be attending the Dawn Service on this Special Day - ANZAC DAY. I think I have only ever missed it once due to ill health. Even as kids, I would always get up early & ride my bike to the Dawn Service & then later on march with the school. It was tradition.

The service on the coast would have to be one of the best I have ever attended with the "Last Post" ringing out over the ocean. It is mind blowing & nearly brings me to tears every year. The goose bumps appear every time. I think I can safely say that this happens with every servicemen/women & ex-servicemen/women.

If the Navy had a recruiting van parked along the beach, I am sure I would not be the only one queuing up to sign on!!!! The goose bumps..... I can feel them as I write this.

It is then off to the local RSL where we get together, chat, talk about our service days, listen to the oldies tell there incredible stories & play "Two Up", where I am usually a big looser, but just gotta play, can't help myself. In fact, I know quiet a few ex-sailors who have lost their whole pay packet (including myself) on "Crown & Anchor".

It seems like forever since my last post, but with the wedding season upon us, invitations & receptions have been taking up all my spare time.

Today's post is one I created a couple of weeks go & thought I would share with you. It is a very easy layout but one that can be changed out to whatever you want using different stamps, colours & even DSP.

In fact, this card would make a perfect card for Mum, especially with Mother's Day just around the corner.

...was one of the stamp sets we used in our Technique Class last month. If you haven't tried Stampin' Mist as a Technique, give it a whirl as you will be surprised at how easy it is & the different effects you get on your card. Each time you do this technique, you will get a different look each time.

In our SAB Classes for February & March, we used the stamp set "Petal Parade" along with the gorgeous DSP - Sweet Sorbet. Today's card has been done with the Envelope Punch Board. The ladies were amazed at how versatile this little board is. So many options, so little time!

To check out the Classes for March & April be sure to click onto the Classes/Workshops Page. Along with the classes, dates & times, there are also photos. To book your class, please email or phone.
